The difference between men and women was immense, and Saule, delicate as she was, found herself helpless in the face of the
man's advances.
Saule cried, her voice barely a whisper, "Stop! Don't do this..."
But the intoxicated man paid no heed to her pleas. He forced her down and continued his assault. In the struggle, Saule hit her
head against the ground and lost consciousness.
When she regained awareness, she found herself in a hospital bed, feeling sore and weak. Her family, including Ezra, surrounded
her, their faces grave.
"Saule, I've failed you..." Ezra's voice trembled with emotion as he spoke.

Despite her pain, Saule tried to comfort her father. "It's not your fault, Dad."
But deep down, Saule knew the truth. She had been found nearly naked, her dignity violated.
Luckily, a compassionate woman had cacross her and swiftly acted, covering Saule and calling for help.
Ezra was filled with rage and grief at the sight of his daughter's suffering. Beah had eloped, and someone took liberty with Saule.
These two incidents struck a devastating blow to him.
"Saule, | promise to seek justice for you."
At the scene, a man was found in a compromising state, identified by Ezra as Dustan's younger brother.
"B*stard!" Ezra roared, delivering a forceful kick to the man.
Awakening from his drunken stupor, the man found himself confused and surrounded by an unexpected situation.
Ezra then commanded his men to detain the offender, confining him temporarily in the cellar.
The Jordan family faced ridicule in Bodgow following Beah's elopement, tarnishing their reputation.
Naturally, the wedding was canceled. With the marriage agreement dissolved, Dustan's disappointment deepened upon hearing of
his brother's disgraceful actions to Saule, sending him into a fury. He had always known his brother's troublesnature but was
blindsided by the extent of his heinous behavior that night.
But Dustan was close to his brother. Moreover, he was put in a difficult position when his mother, fearing for her son's
imprisonment, caused a commotion.

Torn between loyalty to his brother and remorse for his actions, Dustan attempted to mend the damage by extending a sincere
apology and pleading for Ezra's forgiveness.
Ezra, once viewing Dustan as an esteemed future son-in-law, now regarded him with contempt for attempting to mitigate his
brother's unforgivable act against Saule.
"Your attempts at justification are useless. | intend to take legal action. We will settle this in court." Ezra was determined to
imprison the culprit, even if it meant using his influence to pull sstrings.
"Master Ezra, our families have long been friends. Surely, such harshness is unwarranted..." Dustan treaded carefully, aware of his
brother's fault.
"Friends? How dare you mention that at a tlike this? Your brother assaulted my daughter. How could you say we're friends?"
Struggling to contain his anger, Ezra restrained himself from saying harsher words.
